High School and Super Powers? Original RP [PG-16] (Closed)

[bury the year]

[spoiler=ASNAKGBOIAT SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG D:]Name: Maria Sengoku (千石鞠愛, Sengoku Maria)

 

Gender: Female

 

Age: 15

 

Appearance: The first thing one would notice about Maria is her hair. She’s one-third Irish, so the mixture of the English blonde and the Japanese black left her with a light-brown hair color, that of coffee with extra milk. Far from hating this twist of genetics that would cast her out as a gaijin, the second-year has come to embrace this part of her, wearing it long and loose. The only thing that accents it is a pair of elastics on the right part, one white and one pink. Her eyes are a soft hazel color, which belies the intense roil of emotions behind them. Maria has a rather slim figure with only a slight hint of feminine maturity on it (aka, no boobs) and slightly pale skin. This gives the overall impression of someone who can’t hurt a fly, but don’t let that deceive you.

 

In order to enhance her “nice-girl” image (which is a complete lie), Maria prefers to go for lighter colors and a girlier dress style when out of uniform. She has a fondness for dresses, but not the over-the-top Gothic Lolita style. It’s usually just a simple knee-length job, usually with a pair of tights under it. For some reason, many of her clothes have a wave motif on them, which is probably due to the brand she buys from, Tidal Wave. This is usually topped off with a pair of checkered shoes and a large beaded necklace made of kona wood, which she got on vacation in Hawaii.

 

Personality: She doesn’t have a big bark, but Maria has one hell of a bite. The girl carries herself throughout the day with the sort of understated confidence that can make weak-minded people shake in fear. However, that doesn’t mean that she’s necessarily a good person. No, not really. She might be somewhat cold and callous, but Maria has an almost sadistic love of breaking the haughty and the pompous with words and bitter memories. This in itself is ironic, because one could consider her to be quite a manipulator. She controls every aspect of her image, from her dress to her mannerisms, in order to climb higher up the social ladder. There’s only one direction for her, and it’s up. She doesn’t care how many people she has to trample to get there.

 

Even though she might seem like a rock, Maria does have a rather emotional side, the “dere” to her “tsun.” She doesn’t like to acknowledge this part of her, though, because she perceives it as just another weakness. In the end, her personality is something like a distorted caped crusader; instead of bringing evil to justice, she’ll just crush them under her heel.

 

Affinity towards: Auramancy - Maria's ability isn't easy to explain, but it derives from her ability to see "auras," or different aspects of something's being and personality. These auras take the form of flickering geometrical shapes that project off of a person's body, almost like the shadow of a candle flame. Each one has a different color, shape and intensity, and all of these traits derive from what aspect the aura is. (For example, hatred is usually a violent red, and moves rapidly.)

 

Now, this ability is useless on its own, but it does have a second, more offensive corollary. By taking any metal object and focusing on it, Maria can basically "charge" it with her spirit. Once an object is "charged," it can be used to interact with the auras around her. This ranges from tying back a piece of aura to reduce its effect on the bearer to using scissors to completely cut it off, effectively removing that person’s ability to experience that emotion. Basically, she’s playing surgeon with your psyche. “Charged” objects keep their charge for exactly 2 hours; after that period has elapsed, they return to their normal state, and they cannot interact with auras until recharged. At the moment, it is undetermined whether or not special abilities also have auras. Also, humans aren’t the only ones to have auras, but Maria hasn’t been able to get into another type of being’s state of mind enough to perceive them.

 

Strongest Subject: History.

 

[Otaku-sama]

@Zaneko: Better. Accepted.

@Yae: Reserved.

@Rinne: Wouldn't being able to effectively stop an RPer from controlling his/her character's emotions be a little powerplaying-ish? Do the auras regenerate after a time period? Detail this more please.

 

EDIT: @Marsuvees: Whoops. Sorry for the false hope. Your character is non-Japanese, so your app has to be better if you want to keep that name. Either that or change the name.

[Dark Lightning]

I have completed my app. I think.

[Otaku-sama]

@Dark Lightning: Your personality needs a lot more detail. Also, everyone's character gets their power early in the plot, but not before the plot. That's why I put 'Affinity towards' instead of 'Power'.

[Guest Tainted Black]

*Sigh* Edited, but I would like to keep the nickname.

[Skarlet]

Name: Bonni Drew

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Appearance: Bonni is a relatively short girl, standing at only 4'1, her body is thin and curvacious by the standards of her native Scotland, however by the Japanese standards, she is slightly above average weight. Her skin is very pale. Bonni's hair is very long, flowing easily down to her thighs, it is dyed dark black, however it is usually red, her eyes are large and colored a deep brown. Her nose is very small and set well on her face. Her mouth is also small, correctly proportioned with her nose. Bonni's typical clothing is a short-sleeved white shirt with a purposely loose black tie, a short black skirt, and knee high boots. She usually also wears a black dog's collar with silver studs featuring her name on a tag, along with silver studs in her ears, set with black stones.

Personality: Bonni is very complex in personality, at first she seems to be a very shy, girl, who would struggle to make friends, however Bonni is by no means shy, she is a quiet, confident. polite girl who occasionally comes out of her shell, usually completely changing people's opinions with her outgoing-ness and charm. When Bonni is around her friends, on stage, or simply in a very social setting, such as a party, she becomes very vibrant and emotional, acting expressively in everything she does. Although Bonni is usually a 'closed book' when she is with her friends, or other people she cares deeply about, she has no problems talking about her emotional state, something that most people can only guess at, and almost all people guess wrong. If you have achieved the feat of becoming close enough to Bonni for her to reveal this information to you, you'll be a friend for life, she'll be fiercely loyal to you and deeply caring, putting you before herself, no matter what, because in her own words. “Good, caring friends are few and far between, you can't afford to loose the ones you have.”

Affinity towards: The power to change shape into other humanoid forms, most often, these will be people, and she'll use this ability to get into places, and do things that she would normally not be capable of doing. This power can also be used to alter Bonni's body in such a way that she might have weapon-like body parts such as claws or a poisonous bite. or perhaps even wings.

Strongest Subject: Drama

 

Note: Bonni is orginally Scottish, but has moved to Japan, she isn't fluent in Japanese, but knows enough to get by.

Understandable. I will edit.

(((Ah, excellent point. I plan on asking OOC for permission to use her ability, and not making it overpowered. Sorry 'bout that. Her ability would most likely be based around manipulating physical traits, not emotional, so it should not be much of a problem for most of the time anyways. :3)))

[Otaku-sama]

So if you are pinning limbs, I guess it's okay. I don't enjoy the fact you can powerplay, but you're a mod and you know what you're doing, so I guess you're accepted.

 

We are starting soon, so get ready and submit whatever apps you need to send. When I start, I will cancel all non-fullfilled reservations because frankly, my plot doesn't allow for late arrivals. However, later on in the plot I will allow for villians.

[Guest Tainted Black]

Umm... just to make sure you saw it...

 

*Sigh* Edited' date=' but I would like to keep the nickname... Please?

(((You know me too well. xD. But if you still are unsure, I can PM you my posts before making them. You are the GM here after all. :3. Finally, to back up Otaku's point, I'd like it if any OOC posts here cease for the meanwhile if they don't pertain to apps. Thank you.)))

[Otaku-sama]

@Rinne: The PMs won't be necessary, but if you start to powerplay too much, I'll report you. XD

 

@Marsuvees: I guess you can keep the nickname, but if your character is so vindictive, I don't see anyone making an effort to give him a nickname. =/

[Dark Lightning]

Alright, I've edited.

[Otaku-sama]

Better. Accepted. I will edit your app in soon as I am on my Ipod right now.

[Skarlet]

OoC: Was I accepted? I posted my app.

[Otaku-sama]

I don't like hypnosis or mind powers because they powerplay when they activate. Change the power.

[Skarlet]

Alright, I'll figure somthing else out.

 

 

Edit: Check my app, I revised the power.

[.Legend]

Otaku ime requesting a bit of power over some average bully NPC's when needed. And I think I will change my power.

[Otaku-sama]

No one starts with their powers initially. You discover them early in the plot. You can still spawn a bully though. If you want to change your power, edit your app and I will take another look at it.

 

EDIT: I don't understand your power Yae. Describe it to be.

[.Legend]

That was my intention.

[Skarlet]

Basically, the idea is that she can shape-shift, however her form stays relatively human. Usually she'll take the form of specific people, but sometimes she'll just use the power to grow things like claws, or wings.

[Otaku-sama]

I see. Accepted I guess.

[.Legend]

I edited my power.

[Blackstone Dresden]

((Pyrotechnics=fireworks, etc. In the app I think you mean pyrokinesis))

 

Name: Dalcian Erathen

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Appearance: Dalcian is somewhere between five-and-a-half and six feet tall with white-blond hair and pale skin. He has a mildly athletic build, more like someone that spends a lot of time walking than formal exercising. He always wears dark sunglasses to hide his rheumy white eyes. He almost always wears light clothing, usually khaki pants and a t-shirt. He almost always has his solid steel and blue cane in one hand or in his belt loop.

Personality: Dalcian is seemingly full of contradictions: He sleeps through all his classes, yet is almost superhumanly smart. He doesn't play any sports, but, when he applies himself, he can take the star center of the basketball team in a one-on-one match. He seems to fluctuate between being bored out of his mind to intently interested and back in a few seconds. He's by no means a chatterbox, but can't seem to help himself from correcting various verbal faux pas. Just don't mention the eyes, he's a little sensitive about them.

Affinity towards: Five elements (water, fire, earth, air, aether). Basically, by coming in contact with any of the five classical elements mentioned above, he gains 1 ability. Water grants him empathic abilities, allowing him to sense just how a person's feeling despite their best attempts at masking them. Fire bestows emotion manipulation, allowing him to cause anger or fear in his targets. Earth grants him Olympian strength, while air enhances his speed by the same amount. Aether, the energy of his very soul, is perhaps his most vital ability of all, briefly enhances all of his senses, including returning his long lost sight in the form of an "aura sense" that lets him see people's souls, who and what they see themselves as. This sense also applies to plants and animals, and presents nonliving items as solid black masses. This is the only ability that he can use in conjunction with his others, however, he usually limits it to just his aura sense and whatever ability he's adding to

Strongest Subject: English, though he has to type all his papers and gets audio books.

Weakest Subject: Anything involving art

 

((I'll leave the power limits (how often he can change per day, etc.) up to you so he's not overpowered. Also, yes, he's COMPLETELY blind, like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles have 20/20 vision compared to him blind))

[Saiba Aisu]

Name: Adrienne Guadiacco

Gender: Female

Age: 17 (Even though the year has just started, she has a very early birthday, two days into the school year, that prevents her from being an upperclassman.)

 

Appearance: From her appearance, it's clear that Adrienne isn't of Japanese origin, although having lived in Saitama for a significant amount of time, she's quite familiar with the language and local terminology—in fact, while she doesn't consider herself a native of Japan, she's quite fond of its culture and people. The only child of a successful and hard-working paralegal couple who extended their firm from Greece, she's fairly—but not excessively—tall for her ancestry, standing at around 5"8 or so; however, as can be expected, this makes her much taller than most of the other female students at Ryoo High. Her features are those of the perfect Grecian type, with inky dark-blue hair, high cheekbones, large and liquid dark eyes, coral lips, a finely formed nose, and a softly tanned complexion. Her body is slender, elegant, and well-built, being more along the lines of a runner or dancer than anything else. She's not the bustiest of girls, but her body is proportioned so well that it's not noticeable.

 

Although Ryoo High is a public school, Adrienne tends to dress fairly well in comparison to her classmates, many of who appear to favor rather bizarre clothing. Adrienne's clothes are based on only the most popular and fashionable styles, hinting subtly at the quiet but considerable wealth of her family. While she does wear a standard Japanese schoolgirl blazer, Adrienne tends to personalize her outfits, adding black fingerless gloves, a black miniskirt, and black boots. One of her trademark accessories is a belt in the style of a serpent. While she's very attentive to fashion, Adrienne doesn't flaunt herself in any manner, be it monetarily or sexually—she dresses as she pleases, and certainly not for the approval of others.

 

Personality: Although she's considered quite attractive and even exotic among her female and largely Japanese peers, Adrienne doesn't let her appearance dominate every aspect of her personality. She's quite popular among the more elite circles at the school and has several friends, but she's reserved at all times, preferring to keep her distance from others, especially those that she doesn't know very well. Although it's common knowledge that she's from a wealthy and successful family, she never seems to talk much about her parents or the lifestyle she leads at home. It's known that she has an older brother that departed to study abroad after graduating four years ago, but she hardly ever mentions him, either. Despite the fact that she's had a lot of practice in deflecting curious inquiries into her private life, she often gets quite annoyed whenever her brother is mentioned.

 

Adrienne is very fond of dark humor, contrary to her appearance. She enjoys to spend time alone unless someone approaches her or she feels in need of human company—in that case, she can usually socialize very well. Well-educated, poised, and clever, Adrienne is one of the most prestigious students at Ryoo High. While she's normally ill-tempered and pessimistic, she has a heart of gold for those she's fond of. She's also very temperamental, leading some to initially classify her as "full of herself".

 

Affinity towards: Telekinesis. Adrienne possesses a unique and well-developed psychic ability that allows her to lift and direct objects of varying size for a limited amount of time, provided that her attention is sufficiently focused. Any more than three items, and her telekinetic control of all three begins to worsen noticeably. While she has yet to successfully lift a grown human being or anything weighing more than one hundred pounds or so, she has managed a sort of feeble self-levitation on several occasions which lasts for a few seconds. While this ability has considerable combat applications, she's limited by the items that are around her at the time—in essence, she cannot "create" weapons by carving them out of existing substances unless they are broken into pieces. Although she's very reserved and private about her own manners, preferring to handle most situations on her own, this ability often comes in handy when dealing with many menial tasks—in the privacy of her own home, she often uses it to fetch stray pencils and clothing.

 

Strongest Subject: English, of course. Having traveled around so much with her paralegal parents, she has a rare gift for expression and language.
